Expert Advice on Being a Good Girlfriend

Being a good girlfriend involves clear communication, active support, and effective conflict resolution skills—among many other things. We talked to dating experts and licensed relationship psychologists and therapists about how to be a better girlfriend so you can strengthen the bond between you and your partner. Here’s what they had to say:

  • Dating coach John Keegan recommends “learning how they communicate their love and making sure that that's being reciprocated. For example, if you know that your boyfriend is a physical touch person who likes to hug [and] hold hands, that's really important to him. And you're not doing that, it can cause a big rift in the relationship and really upset him, even if you're giving him gifts [or] spending quality time.”[1]
  • Relationship expert Joshua Pompey reminds us, “When you're with somebody, you need to put the effort in...planning dates that show that you are paying attention to what your partner is interested in, little romantic gestures here and there, [and] surprise gifts. Have a courtship that shows you're interested and you want to pursue that person and make them happy on every level.”[2]
  • Dating & relationship coach Mark Rosenfeld tells us, “I think asking questions to learn about them and really listening is key. Too often, we get into conversations where we're looking for our own chance to speak. But if you can ask questions about their upbringing, their likes, their dislikes, their wants, and their needs, asking good questions and getting curious can help.”[3]
  • Relationship psychologist Supatra Tovar, PsyD, RD, says, “Become a better listener. Your relationship can improve greatly if you take more time to listen rather than speak. Reflect back on what you hear to make sure your partner feels heard. This can go a long way to increasing trust and accountability.”[4]
